5th Grade Recognition Ceremony

Friday was the last day of school for our girls & the K-8 school has a "recognition" ceremony for all the outgoing 5th graders...which is essentially a graduation. The students get to say what they would like to be remembered for and their favorite memory from elementary school. Sydney was chosen by Mr. Melrose to represent their class by leading the Pledge of Allegiance & The Star Spangled Banner. I hate to sound cliche here but it seems like yesterday that we dropped her off at her 1st day of kindergarten & I don't have to remind some of you that she cried everyday through Halloween. But obviuosly she adjusted and here we are at middle school! Crazy, crazy. Thanks to Mr. Melrose for a great (and very fun ) year.

End of the school year Carnival

The Celebration School end of the year carnival was lots of fun & very, very hot!!! The kids had a great time. It is hard to imagine that the school year is over because it flew by. Both Sydney & Josie had great years- we couldn't have asked for better teachers- Josie settled in to her new school perfectly & both very worked hard. Now it is time to kick back, relax & enjoy summer!

Look who's playing the Wii!

At 2 1/2 Griffin has started to master the Wii. It is so funny to watch him play- he is playing boxing in this picture. i think this may be the solution to avoiding the extremely hot summers here & having to stay indoors & getting some exercise!

Bubbles galore

Our floors have been squeaky clean lately- Griffin has been double fisting these bubble blowers all over the house. he can go through a bottle of bubbles in no time at all.

Happy 11th Birthday Sydney!!!

Happy Birthday to Sydney! She had a wonderful day- this was the 1st year that she was actually in school for her birthday...usually we are starting the summer break on her birthday. She said it was fun to go to school on her birthday & since this is the last week of the school year (and her last in elementary school) things are winding down- she did not even have dance since the recital was this past weekend, which gave her free time to play with her friend afterschool which was a treat. Sydney is a joy & she has a wit about her that alot of people don't see, but is definitely there & quite enjoyable. We are very proud of her!!!
